It needs to make it to the 25BTC/block payout keeping as much of the current momentum as possible. That's when things will go off.  yeah, but one and a half years sounds like so far away! |

What's a Mio Bitcoin?
that was supposed to be short for million. 7 million bitcoins are now in circulation (minus those spilled) so if there's approx 21,000 lost so far (just a rough guess based on various posts on this forum), then we need another 14000 coins to make it to the 1/3 circulating mark... two more days  |

Say HI to address collisions. Only if two people use the same passphrase. '123456' is pretty common |

Why not just use the BTC Address as a salt?
you'll have to elaborate, as i really am new to cryptography and hashing. |

How about OWNER comments?
When people comment they can tick a box saying they are an owner. You give a unique address for them to send BTC to. Same as above but once the BTC arrives the comment shows up. People won't try scamming it as you just return BTC to the notes address and not the senders address. If the senders address matches the notes address you apply the comment and highlight it somehow. If it doesn't match you just return the BTC.
i like your previous idea better with your second idea, someone might be willing to part with 0.5 btc to say they are the owner, even if they're not (and they know their 0.5 btc will be sent to the real owner). but really great ideas by the way, thanks for taking the time If you just use the comment box with a tick mark the person doesn't ever have to remember a password or sign in. They comment and you give them an address to "prove it". They send an amount and if it matches the comment appears. Each time they want to comment they just go through the process again. The tricky part is tricking Bitcoin in doing the send with the actual address you are trying to prove. If it sends with the wrong address it is not a big deal since they are the owner of the address even though they couldn't prove it!! They'll still get their money back. I don't know if you could charge much though as the person may have to do more than one attempt in case someone doesn't work. Perhaps keep a tiny bit but return the rest. yes i do like the idea, it's actually really great (something for a little later as i get the time), but as you say it can be tricky sending FROM a particular address. oh, also neither payb.tc or bitnot.es currently have any need to have bitcoind running, they're just simple databases. but doing the above will involve connecting to a wallet. not a big deal, just 1 consideration. |

as i mentioned in another thread, i would like to find a good convenient way to allow private notes, along with public ones (so that a note is only viewable to the owner of an address for example). with payb.tc, nothing stops ANYONE from making http://payb.tc/bitlotto (if it's still available) and entering their address, (as we saw when someone created http://payb.tc/tradehill and http://payb.tc/mtgox). same goes for bitnotes... people should not just automatically trust a note... just like you don't automatically trust posts on this forum, or take wikipedia pages as absolute truth without verifying it. so in your example if someone said "This is a scammer address the real address is 1L4..." then a further user could add a note on top of that which says "The previous note is false, and here's a citation http://cite_source". people that want their notes to be more trustworthy should probably add citations of some kind. by the way, here's another note http://bitnot.es/a/1Gw6NJpoaBmaG77px8p6jE63SqpykrJcRx |

I thought Josh was talking about the fact that the only authorization is your IP address: All HTTP notifications are sent with the POST method from the IP 46.4.90.208.
You should check the request IP in your controller to ensure the notification actually comes from us.
... Someone might be able to forge a 'payment sent' request to your user's website by simple spoofing your IP address since it appears there is no authentication or token or anything sent in the POST request itself to prevent a fake payment acknowledgement. An IP address spoofing explanation is here: http://www.shaadiya.com/ask/2007/06/15/how-to-spoof-ip-address-hackers-view-and-the-way-to-protect-sites-with-this-fake/If I could spoof your address I could send fake payment acknowledgements to all your users. But, I'll be honest, I only took a quick look at your docs and I don't know your system nor have I tried it yet so maybe I'm just blowing smoke out my ass. But if I'm right, you should probably fix that. issues worth noting. any ideas on how to fix this issues? maybe you could send me an encrypted password along with the other information. on my side once i can check the password and know its not a fake you could try reading the api documentation for liberty reserve, alertpay, etc for security ideas. |

hi. i've got a new website online that i've been working on, i hope some people will find it useful. it's called http://bitnot.es (BIT NOTES!) i realise that most people want to stay anonymous with their transactions and their address labeling, but for those that want online documenting for their labels (and other people's labels), you can now enter that info into bit notes and access it any time, any where. currently the site only supports the commenting of bitcoin addresses, but i'm going to expand it to include attaching notes to specific transactions, or blocks. here's some example notes that i've added: http://bitnot.es/a/13QTW27b3SgqrEjefB9PbiZ6hcrVCJAxfxhttp://bitnot.es/a/1HHnZmv8QFsnDPkbkNrVXTsgPTizyYJi2o(the 'a' means 'address', later i will add /b for blocks, and /t for transactions) anyway, this is a very crude first version, i will enjoy improving it more and more whenever i get the time. and your suggestions are very welcome! thank you. p.s. one idea for usage might be if someone knew for certain a 'mybitcoin.com' address, they could create a note for that address on bit notes. |

 come-on! I want to build some trust here... it's likely a scam. which is why i'm guessing the OP would never agree to send first. |

alternatively, i could buy all 300 for 7 dollars each if you send first...

I just used Mt.gox for the first time and i see a massive failure in its operation. i place my order before i'd transferred my money
into my account. the price of the coins tanked nearly $2 since i ordered... so i went back and cancelled my order and reordered
at the new lower price ?!?!? surely this is wrong ? why arent you "locked" into a sale at the price you agree to at the time ?
seems mad to me lol
it takes 2 parties to make a trade. just because you specified a price, doesn't mean anyone agreed yet to be the counterparty. |
